I am going to Cambodia in two weeks and hope to imitate art and whisper a secret into Angkor Wat. This is one of the greatest scenes in movie history. And the movie itself is a masterpiece.
This is possibly my favourite moment in any film I have ever seen. You feel his pain, his longing, you know he'll carry it with him forever, you know he'll never be the same. Wong Kar-Wai, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is beauty.
I love how the movie ends – a second before the screen fades to black, there is a shot of a stone with a 'hole' too, as if inviting the viewer to tell a secret into it, and cover it up with mud, just like what Tony did in the beginning.... remarkable.
What really gets me about this scene is the way the camera moves through Angkor Wat. It's as if the secret he's told is travelling through the ruins, trapped in its walls forever. A brilliant piece of cinema! And can I just say MAGGIE CHEUNG :D
I'm trying to find an interview of Wong Kar Wai where he talked about this scene and what he said to Pin Bing Lee (DP). Does anyone have the link or article? I remember seeing it online, but I have scourging the internet with no luck now! Thanks in advance!
I don't know about you but this scene in particular made me cry. I didn't know why then (because I don't usually cry) but now that I'm watching it for the second time I understand : the beauty of the photography, Angkor Wat, the music (so intense), the acting of Tony Leung.
It's just perfect, perfectly moving. I'm in love with this movie.
It's soooo sad and so beautiful at the same time, I'm so happy my film studies teacher made us watch this movie, I totally downloaded this song and Yumeji's theme onto my laptop.
I just love the music in the final sequence. It's titled "Angkor Wat (Theme I)" by Michael Galasso off the In The Mood For Love soundtrack if anyone is interested. It's so moody. Each time I listen to that piece of music it instantly arises an emotional response from within. I can't say that many other pieces of music has that effect on me.
he whispers his secrets into the hole, and then covers it with mud. it's supposed to be a method to keep secrets as he once said to his friend during dinner in singapore.

Has ties with Buddhism. Perhaps the principle of non-attachment.
